Reassembly of the SuperFlow® 350 Demand Regulator

 

SuperFlow® 350 Regulator

The screws that hold the flange on the 

regulator body should be tightened, see "Torque 

Specs" on page APNDX-19 for correct torque.

If the flange is tightened too much, the gasket 

will protrude into the exhaust valve opening and 

interfere with proper regulator performance.

2) Trim off any excess material from the gasket 

that might interfere with the operation of the ex-

haust valve.

3) Install the new exhaust valve into the regu-

lator and trim off any excess stem that may in-

terfere with the movement of the lever or inlet 

valve.

The exhaust valve is installed on 

the outside of the flange.

The stem of the exhaust valve that sticks into 

the regulator body must be trimmed.

4) While using the castle wrench to hold the inlet 

valve, insert the valve into the bent tube end of 

the regulator body. Place the washer sharp side 

down, then the spacer over the end of the inlet 

valve stem. As an alternate procedure, the wash-

er and spacer may be placed in the recess in the 

inside of the regulator body before inserting the 

inlet valve stem.
